I completed my first draft of the “Snow White” story yesterday. This one took me by surprise. I’ve been nursing the basic idea of the story for a while, but I was unprepared for the way this one just poured out of me. Usually, in the course of writing a story I’ll make a bad wrong turn or two, and end up going back and eliminating a lot of material. This one, though, was a straight shot from beginning to end.

Now, as to whether that translates to a better story — i.e., one that sells to some market — time will tell. I still have to type it up and then edit it.

(Oh, and the baseball story — titled, “One More Dying Quail”, a Bull Durham reference using a bit of arcane baseball lingo — is now edited and will be heading out for rejection this week.)
